Introduction
The part-time MBA at HKU is designed to help you comprehend, come to grips with, manage and capitalise on the region’s dynamic and fast-evolving business environment. As the Asian economy continues to grow, it is vital that business leaders from the region are exposed to cutting-edge business education which is tailor-made for achieving success in the dynamic Asian arena.
The HKU MBA adopts an experiential-learning approach, with a strong focus on China and Asia. You will learn how to apply business principles and models to real-world business problems in China and the region. All the courses are taught using context-rich business scenarios and cases based on actual experiences at well-known Asian and global companies.
Five essential themes critical to the success of multinational and regional firms in Asia today are featured in our courses:
1. China and the Global Economy
2. Entrepreneurship and Innovation
3. Finance
4. Services and Marketing Management
5. Technology and Operations Management.
These five themes identify the various challenges faced by firms in Asia as they build their sustainable corporate advantage. We believe that by acquiring up-to-date knowledge, analytical tools and management skills related to these themes, MBA students would be well prepared for their careers as senior executives in Asia.
